This afternoon, a few SIPJ ladies gathered for a tutorial on how to use Google apps to organise emails, photos and documents, big and small. With great patience and humor our club President Elmarie helped us navigate the many layers of Google, which has become the crutch of the world. Thank you Elmarie for dragging dinosaurs like me to the world of today. Only reservation I have is Google being caught up in the Trump-Huawei showdown. Will this mean we will soon need to master another new kid on the block... China's very own Noodle? ... See MoreSee Less

Last night May 8, SIPJ inducted a new member - 27-year old Henin Tong, a lawyer. And with that, the average age of the club tumbled. Yay! Henin was taken up by her introducer Siew Yong Gnanalingam, known for her persuasive skills and passion for community service, the foundation of the club. Henin proves our youth are also looking for ways to making lives more meaningful for others, and found this is what is being done with our SPOT program (pre-pubescent students), SEEED (youth training for job market) and the impending SHINE program, to improve parenting skills. With these projects, SIPJ covers many bases and demographics. Welcome Henin... and look forward more 20-somethings to make ours a truly intergeneratioanal club of varied voices. ... See MoreSee Less

What a wonderful group of women. Joining SIPJ was one of the best decisions I've made as an expatriate living in Malaysia. After being introduced to SIPJ and their "Seed for Life" Programme in my role as CEO of MCII, I was immediately interested in getting involved in such a meaningful organisation. I was so impressed by the sense of purpose, sisterhood and inclusion that I experienced during the first business meeting I attended that I decided then and there to join as a member.

SIPJ has a number of very illustrious members - charter members who were pioneers in the SI Malaysia movement, past and current SISWP presidents, business women who have made their mark and very excitingly, many young members joining us. The beauty of it all is that in SIPJ there is no sense of hierarchy or elitism. I think the four musketeers would have been proud of us since we indeed personify their slogan "All for one and one for all".

We have a history of award-winning programmes and trend-setting initiatives and are all committed relentlessly to the empowerment of women and making the world a kinder and better place. ... See MoreSee Less
